What this story shows is the lack of control the Shiites have in their own backyard (Baghdad) against the Sunnis. When 50 people can be captured, blindfolded and then mass executed with the government finding them after the fact not knowing about it while it was happening says the Shiites do not control Baghdad. The second part of the story is Maliki trying to get the US to attack the Kurds in the north for not being under their control and giving Sunnis shelter for a decade of those who wanted nothing to do with the Sunnis or Shiites moving into the Sunni held area of Iraq. To be whining about those you don't subjugate while a different group is clearly sending a message "You don't rule us either" is delusional behavior and an unwillingness to face your own fall. To blame the Kurds for ISIS seems ludicrous. There seems little likelihood the Kurds would want anything to do with those douches. I am not certain Baghdad will stand under Shiite control much longer at this point which is not something I would have said a week ago.
